You’ll Think Of Me

I’m starting to question my standards

That’s the seventh call this week that’s gone unanswered 

I can’t bring myself to stop calling 

But I’ve stopped thinking much about it to stop bawling

You say one thing, but you do another

Maybe after all you should just listen to your mother 

I can’t figure out if you don’t really want this or if you’re just afraid

These days it feels like it could be either way

The god’s honest truth is, is that I don’t think you’ll really do it, not for me

The one thing that this needs to be able to succeed is your vulnerability 

I think you’re too afraid to let me in 

I think you’re too afraid of the risk 

Which sucks because I know that hurt is not something you can prevent 

The person you love hurting you is not preventable – If anything it’s guaranteed 

What hurts the most is that I know someday you’ll find someone who is worth the risk 

They won’t have to beg you to open up to them 

Because you’ll think back to me and how it all went wrong 

Then you’ll realize you had the answers all along 

And I hope in the midst of fear you make the choice that is brave

Because the reality is, for love, that’s the only way
